Colonoscopy for the first time

[sung_ash]

Hi. I'm scheduled for a colonoscopy on Saturday. My bowel prep includes dolculax as an alternative to Phosphosoda bc it's not available anymore here. I'm quiet worried if it will do the job of cleaning 😬😬

Also, any tips while prepping?

Hi, just stick to the instructions you'll be fine I've had same..I've had 3 colonoscapies!! Don't waiver from the instructions & you'll be fine.

Hi sung_ash I hope all goes well with your colonoscopy!

We are working on doing some updates to this site so we will have links with colonoscopy tips and other info so you won't have to wait for a reply. I apologize for not getting to your post prior to your colonoscopy.

Thank you Rasputin247 and Hidden - both offered great advice... in general always good to follow the doctor's instructions, BUT as pointed out - even when following instructions you may need to contact the doctor because we all react differently to medications.

Please keep us posted and we're here for you
